1.Without even knowing why
2.I was made to carry something—
3.Even as I feel it weigh on my legs, I keep walking4.
5.If there were only one answer
6.Would I be able to stay without hesitation?
7.That would surely be happiness…
8.I mutter softly to myself9.
10.Facing into the wind that scatters sand
11.I press cloth to my lips, hiding my words12.
13.This bursting life
14.Is searching for something it can believe in
15.Because the warmth of holding hands
16.On a country path still lingers
17.I can’t bring myself to abandon the small child within me18.
19.Even when I feel an uneasy discomfort
20.Like the dryness of my palm—
21.Your voice soaks into me
22.Like sand peeling gently away23.
24.This bursting life—
25.What is it struggling to leave behind?
26.Because the image of your back
27.Chased while stepping on shadows, still remains
28.I can’t bring myself to abandon the small child within me
